You, a living person, are telling me I've served in the underworld for ten years?

Chapter 138 Chen Yang Walks Through the Underworld, Two Realms Mountain!

The Jade Emperor is the supreme ruler in heaven, and the king is the most noble person on earth.

All the gods and spirits under heaven revere him, but only Lushan holds the reins!
Lushan Road!
Chen Yang had heard of this Taoist sect. Its mountain gate was located in the Minjiang River in Fujian Province, and it was extremely popular in Guangdong Province, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, Taiwan, and many countries and regions in Southeast Asia.

This sect has an extremely long history, dating back to the era when "shamanism" was prevalent. Later, it successfully latched onto the coattails of "Divine Power and Miraculous Salvation True Lord" Xu Tianshi, and transformed from shamanism to Taoism!

The Lushan sect has two lineages: the red-headed monk and the black-headed monk.

The Red-Headed Masters worship the three goddesses, Lady Linshui, as their founders, and are known as the Three Goddesses Sect. They mainly practice magic to exorcise evil spirits, subdue demons, eliminate disasters, and bring good fortune.

The black-headed sorcerers mainly practice the methods of exorcising evil spirits and worship "Zhang Shengfa Zhu Zhenjun, the Imperial Censor of the Capital Demon-Slaying Bureau," also known as "Fazhu Gong" in the Fujian and Guangdong regions. Therefore, they are also called the Fazhu sect.

What needs to be explained in detail is...

The so-called "exorcism and salvation" performed by the black-headed sorcerers of the Lushan Dao Fazhu sect is a physical form of salvation. There is even a saying that they "only kill and do not save," mainly because the magic of the Fazhu sect is domineering and forceful, and once they start, it is a matter of life and death. This may be related to the fact that they "transformed from witchcraft to Taoism."

Almost all Taoist priests of the Lushan sect have their own "altar".

There are two ways for them to obtain a Dharma altar: one is through hereditary inheritance, and the other is by establishing their own altar. However, the second way is more difficult, requiring one to cultivate to a certain level and pass on a formal ordination ceremony to obtain the qualification to seal the altar.

There are four well-known altars in Lushan Road: Weiling Altar, Tianwei Altar, Tongying Altar, and Xianying Altar.

Lushan Taoism is mainly based on talismans and magic, and is skilled in controlling ghosts and gods. For example, the famous "Five Ghosts Moving Technique" originated from Lushan.

Therefore, people in the martial arts world of the Great Xia Dynasty rarely want to deal with or have conflicts with the disciples of Lushan Dao. Firstly, their magical methods are too domineering, often injuring or killing people. Secondly, they open altars to summon ghosts and gods whenever they fight, and a Daoist cultivator often leads a group of ghosts to rush forward. Who can withstand that?
For the Taoist practitioners of Lushan, the altar is something they are intimately connected with, so it is naturally impossible to lend it out casually. Jiang He's so-called "borrowing"... there is probably another reason behind it!
However, this has nothing to do with Chen Yang.

The altar and offerings were ready. Without hesitation, Chen Yang immediately stepped onto the altar, followed the steps of the ritual, and began to perform the exorcism and warding off evil spirits!

The Exorcism and Exorcism Technique can communicate the power of the Yin and Yang realms through the rituals of "Raising Earth" or "Thanking the Earth" to expel evil spirits or malevolent spirits. Just over twenty days ago, Chen Yang had just cultivated to the realm of "Soul-Driven Objects" and was able to use the Exorcism and Exorcism Technique to refine the Five Dragon Mountain Ghost Spirit Misty Spirit Realm. How much more so now?
After refining the three Ghost Immortal Thoughts, Chen Yang's soul realm had reached the level of "Soul Possession".

"The Primordial One secures peace, and proclaims this to all spirits."

"The true officials of the mountains and rivers, the spirits of the land and the gods, the altars of the gods of the land and grain, must not be disturbed..."

"rise!"

Chen Yang uttered incantations and offered sacrifices to heaven and earth. He felt a vast power of yin and yang descend from the darkness and merge into himself!

Within his body, yin energy surged, forming a dark cloud of yin wind around him!
His spiritual power was also surging under the blessing of the power of the Yin and Yang realms!
With a mere thought, Chen Yang unleashed a vast and mighty power that enveloped the entire "Spirit Mist Mountain." The misty spiritual domain on the mountain shrank at a visible speed, and the beasts influenced and controlled by the demon spirits rushed out from the edge of the mist, only to be met with the firepower of the soldiers stationed around Spirit Mist Mountain!
Spikes of fire poured out, instantly turning those wild beasts into sieves!

"Humanity!"

"You think you can deal with me?"

A voice echoed from the depths of the Misty Spirit Realm.

The unique aura emanating from the spirit rose from the mist.

"This breath..."

Chen Yang's heart skipped a beat!
Although the aura of the demon spirit is different from the aura of the "heterodox path" in the turbid tide and mist, they do not belong to the Three Realms in essence, but belong to the outside path and heterodox path!
When Chen Yang was young, his understanding of "Tao" was not deep, and his perception of it was not very clear.

But now, after sensing that aura, a feeling of disgust and loathing inexplicably arose in my heart!

This is the rejection of "different paths" by the "Dao" of the Three Realms!

"Those heretics from beyond the realms also dare to invade the Three Realms; how dare these insignificant demon spirits run rampant in the mortal world!"

Chen Yang snorted coldly, and the next moment, a mighty yin wind flew out from between his eyebrows. As soon as the yin wind flew out, it immediately took shape and condensed into the image of Chen Yang!

hum!
The void trembled!
Rays of sunlight fell from the sky and merged into Chen Yang's divine soul and thoughts!
His body began to swell and change, and raging flames engulfed his entire body!

In just three breaths, Chen Yang's Yin spirit transformed into a god three zhang tall. This god had three eyes, a face as blue as indigo, hair as red as cinnabar, wore golden armor and a red robe, and had a majestic and fierce expression!
Daytime Dharmakaya!

As his Dharma body solidified, Chen Yang felt his spiritual power surge once again.

He reached out and summoned the procession banner and the Crimson Sun Mirror, which flew up and landed in his hands!
With a thought, his three-zhang-tall Dharma body descended into the Spirit Mist Mountain!

The raging flames around the Dharma body seemed capable of burning everything; wherever it passed, trees turned to ashes, rocks were set ablaze, and the gray mist that shrouded Lingwu Mountain turned into wisps of ashes!

"The Day-Wandering God?"

A crimson figure emerged from the mist, its eyes flashing with blood-red light as it sneered, "A mere day-roaming deity dares to offend me?"

Chen Yang ignored the words of the demon spirit, raised his hand and struck out with a palm. The green "Dao Fire" in his palm transformed into a fire dragon. With the blessing of the Sun Wandering Dharma Body, the power of this fire dragon was more than twice as strong as in its normal state. With just one strike, he injured the demon spirit!
"what?"

The demon spirit was shocked: "What kind of ghost fire is this? How could it possibly harm me?"

It transformed into streaks of blood-red light, attempting to disappear into the mist, but how powerful was Chen Yang's soul now?

His soul split and locked onto those streaks of blood light. He casually conjured up Taoist fire magic and Qingwei thunder magic. Green "ghost fire" and black "yin thunder" intertwined and bloomed in the mist, shattering and annihilating those streaks of blood light!
He activated the Crimson Sun Mirror, and sunlight continuously shot out from it!
He waved the procession banner, and billowing black smoke raged through the mist!
…………

At the foot of Lingwu Mountain.

Jiang He heard the screams of the demons in the mountains and saw black lightning constantly crashing down from the sky. He felt the entire Lingwu Mountain shaking, while the gray mist on the mountain was shrinking faster and thinner!
Finally, the fog cleared!
The demonic spirit has been destroyed!

Chen Yang dispersed his Day-Wandering Dharma Body, transforming into a gust of yin wind that carried the patrol banner and the Crimson Sun Mirror, which then entered his physical body. Chen Yang's "physical body," which had been sitting cross-legged on the ground, slowly rose and calmly said, "Minister Jiang, the evil spirit of Spirit Mist Mountain has been eliminated... Let's move on to the next place!"

Jiang He said, "Then let's go to Beihe Prefecture."

Hokkaido Prefecture is adjacent to Kyoto Prefecture, and even part of the Yanshan Mountains are within its territory.

The mysterious and enigmatic place within Beihe Prefecture is located in the Five Elements Mountain.

Both were powerful individuals. They flew across Yanshan Mountain and quickly entered the territory of Beihe Prefecture, arriving at Beihe Prefecture according to their location!
Wuxing Mountain, also known as "Five Finger Mountain", is located on the eastern foot of the Taihang Mountains, in Shexian County, which is under the jurisdiction of Handan City, Beihe Prefecture. It only took Chen Yang and Jiang He half an hour to reach Wuxing Mountain.

They did not land immediately, but stood on the horizon, looking down at the Five Elements Mountain.

The gray mist surged and covered the entire mountain, but in terms of the range of the misty spiritual domain, the Five Elements Mountain's Misty Spiritual Domain was at least twice that of Five Dragon Mountain and Spirit Mist Mountain!
"Of the nine misty lands of the Great Xia Dynasty, the misty area of ​​Five Elements Mountain is the largest... and the demon spirits within it are the strongest!"

Jiang He said, "I once went deep into the Five Elements Mountain with Zhang Jiyu and fought against that demon spirit. Even if its strength is not as good as that of a ghost immortal, it is not far off... Unfortunately, it can disappear into the mist at any time and hide itself. Although Zhang Jiyu and I were able to defeat it, we could not eliminate it."

Chen Yang frowned as he looked down at the gray mist that shrouded the entire Five Elements Mountain. "Minister Jiang, what's the situation with the other six areas shrouded in mist?"

Jiang He: "The other six misty spiritual domains cover an area comparable to that of Spirit Mist Mountain and Five Dragon Mountain, and the strength of the demon spirits within them is also about the same."

"Oh?"

Chen Yang asked, "Then why is this demon spirit from Five Elements Mountain stronger than the other eight demon spirits?"

Five Elements Mountain...

Is there something special about it?
The two landed.

Chen Yang discovered that the force sealing off Five Elements Mountain was even stronger than that of Spirit Mist Mountain. In addition to soldiers from the military and a martial arts master from the military, there was also an old man wearing a Taoist robe.

This old man is a Taoist practitioner; he should have already "entered the Tao" and can be called a True Man!
After Jiang He's introduction, Chen Yang learned that the old man's name was Chen Youwei.

It's a very ordinary name.

But the old man's life story is extremely legendary.

He was not a master of any particular Taoist sect, but a wandering practitioner from the streets. As a child, he followed his grandfather around, helping people with their affairs. Eventually, he figured out his own path and entered the inner sanctum, thus "entering the Tao."

Therefore, he didn't know many Taoist magic tricks, but he was extremely skilled in folk tricks and forbidden spells.

"Minister Jiang!"

Upon seeing Jiang He, Chen Youwei rushed forward, his expression excited, and said, "Minister Jiang, now I know why the misty spiritual realm of Five Elements Mountain is larger and the spirits stronger than those in other places!"

Chen Yang and Jiang He both perked up and asked, "Why?"

Chen Youwei kept everyone in suspense, then asked in return, "Minister Jiang, do you know the other name for Five Elements Mountain?"

Jiang He: "Five Finger Mountain?"

Chen Youwei: "Besides Wuzhi Mountain?"

Jiang He thought for a moment and said, "Besides the name Five Fingers Mountain, Five Elements Mountain is also called Two Realms Mountain."

Chen Youwei smiled and said, "Does Minister Jiang know why Five Elements Mountain is also called 'Two Realms Mountain'?"

"I actually know that!"

Jiang Hedao said: "During the Tang Dynasty, Wuxing Mountain was located on the border of the Tang Dynasty. To its east was the Tang Dynasty and to its west was the Tatars. In order to conquer the west and establish the country, Emperor Taizong of Tang designated Wuxing Mountain as the boundary mountain, hence the name 'Two Boundaries Mountain'."

Chen Youwei said, "Minister Jiang may not know this... The reason why Wuxing Mountain was named Liangjie Mountain is not only due to this historical reason, but also because of myths and legends!"

"As early as the Tang Dynasty, there was a legend that this mountain was located between the underworld and the mortal world, and could lead to the gates of hell, which is why it was called the 'Two Realms Mountain'."

"........."

Jiang He was speechless for a moment: "I thought it was something else... What does this legend have to do with the demon spirit in the Five Elements Mountain?"

Chen Yang, standing to the side, glanced at him slightly.

Liangjie Mountain?
Is it located between the underworld and the mortal realm, and a gateway to the gates of hell?
If it were a myth from another era, it might need to be considered, but if this legend originated in the Tang Dynasty... then it's probably true!
Lord Cui, Zhong Kui, and Wei Zheng, the Grand Judge of the Rewards and Benevolence Department, were all people from the Tang Dynasty. They were eventually granted imperial titles and held high positions even in the underworld!

If Chen Youwei's judgment is correct, then...

The Five Elements Mountain is very likely the weak point in the space connecting the human world and the underworld!
He was about to speak when Chen Youwei said, "Minister Jiang, you are mistaken... What if these demonic spirits invaded from the underworld? As the saying goes, when people die, they become ghosts, and when ghosts die, they become demons. It's not impossible!"

"Unfortunately... although I am proficient in the art of Yin-Yang travel, no one is willing to cooperate with me. If I can successfully travel through the Yin-Yang path at Five Elements Mountain, it will prove that my guess was correct."

The art of walking on the underworld?

Chen Yang's eyes lit up, and he said, "Is Master Chen truly proficient in the art of traveling to the underworld? If so, I'm willing to give it a try... to help Master Chen make a trip to the underworld!"
